With eight of us my mother had no time for pets, though we are very close, but that's because I still live on the family land and farm it, I think she sees me as following on from the old man. I was his pet, he always brought me with him when he was going anywhere and when he needed a hand at home I got kept off school.
Can you visualise your life now if someone passed was still in it and how different things might be if they were still here?
My mam has dementia so she isn't with me anymore. She's alive but not my mammy because of that bàstàrd illness. If she was well then everything would be so much better. My dad would be delighted, Christmas would be Christmas again, we'd go for our little shopping trips, I would share my experiences with her, I'd have my anchor back.
There is another way of looking at it though. Not having her meant I found out that the only anchor you have in life is yourself. Nobody else will prop you up. Sure there are people who support you and love you but ultimately contentment rests with yourself.
I miss her everyday but not having her gave me an inner resilience I didn't have before.
Same question to you

My mam passed away 3 weeks ago but it hasn't sunk in yet so I don't know if that counts.
Do you have to wear certain clothes to work?Elect a clown... Expect a circus

I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. I'll give you my "support and love" but I know that's not what will keep you going throughout this time.everlast75 wrote: »My mam passed away 3 weeks ago but it hasn't sunk in yet so I don't know if that counts.

Very sorry to hear that everlast75. I hope the months ahead are kind to you.
I don't have to wear certain clothes or maybe "professional looking" is probably more accurate.
Do you notice a fresh or different smell in your house when you've managed to clean the place top to bottom like i have today?

I want whiskey please, I have a goodly supply of vino in all colours and about 9 to arrive, I have to fodder and shower first.
Will I get out my Brendan Shine collection?
As long as you play Do You Want Your Old Lobby Washed down. My late Dad loved that one
Are there some songs that are just too painful to listen to? Also why are the deceased referred to as late, not like they are gonna be early for anything again?!0 -

ah no, is it again 'that time of the year' :d))
Not until May. I just happen to follow all things eurovision all year.
Nah. Used to be a big deal when we were smaller.
Are you all warm and cosy?
As warm and cosy as you can be before you begin studying for stuff you're going to do terrible in.
You?0 -

Have you any nice treats for yourself?0 -

Sure, you're 14 years old, it's hardly surprising.
